tatsukaze00 Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Codename: Dashboard Beta 5 is complete and ready for download. This is a major milestone. Lots of bugfixes and new stuff in this build. Changes in this version: The application no longer refreshes when components are added/moved/removed New themer (and several new themes) implemented Popup menus have been consolidated into one main menu Slideshow component now supports remote images News components will only pop up one error the first time they fail, and not inform you of any further failures Components can now be suspended/resumed Restarting no longer necessary to change themes (themer V2 themes) The program can be hidden/shown without restarting Ghosts left over after uninstalling components should be gone Notepad can now save text files Multiple monitors not directly supported, but the application can now be undocked and moved Many minor bugfixes to Slideshow, Notepad, Email Checker Codename: Dashboard is, an application that resides at the side of your screen, similar to the "Sidebar" component featured in the now-infamous Longhorn video. Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, it is a host for interchangeable components. Through these components, Codename: Dashboard allows you to have any information you want, on your desktop, all the time. The beta version of Codename: Dashboard is freely available for download. Keep in mind, this is a beta. It is an unfinished, test version. There will be bugs, and the program may not behave as you would expect. If you find bugs, or have comments or questions about Codename: Dashboard, check out the Codename: Dashboard Community Site. Our users and moderators will be happy to help you with your problems.

kairon Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Cool program, though I don't quite like its use of the .NET Framework, seems an easy way out of programming it in the older C or C++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
